Music Video and the Politics of Representation

4.11 - 1251 ratings - Source

qBased around an eclectic series of vivid case studies, this book is an entertaining and enlightening analysis of the forms, pleasures, and politics that music videos offer. In rethinking some classic approaches from film studies and popular music studies and connecting them with new debates about the current 'state' of feminism and feminist theory, Railton and Watson show why and how we should be studying music videos in the twenty-first century. It uses case studies from internationally well-know artists, such as Kylie, Shakira and BeyoncAc to explore issues of representation of gender, sexuality and ethnicity and draws on classic and contemporary videos from a range of musical styles, from Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera to Gorillaz and Metallica.q--Publisher.Wollen, Peter, a#39;Ways of Thinking About Music Video (and Post-Modernism)a#39;,
